Everyone has hands yet hands are still hard to draw

Those are some pretty good balls though. Just move 'em on down in the drawing.

Coming to the comments was totally worth it. Protection, no notes!

Based on the way they lean I'd say - mid summer and humid. Sticking to one leg.

Wtf, nobody draws themselves. People draw best what they stare at all the time. I can draw some boobs, even though I'm terrible at drawing!

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Idk about others, but I usually use myself as a model to get anatomical stuff right, especially hard-to-draw poses.

Same. I often look at my own hands, for example, when I'm drawing particular hand poses. As an artist, it's good practice to start with what you know. As you get more skilled, it gets easier to branch out to new things.

Sometimes I paint nude figures. My ex-boyfriend noticed me studying his penis one day, and when I made a painting with a guy in it, he recognized his own member, lol. I have the opposite situation to this comic though; when I draw women's chests, I tend to make them big because, well, that's what my chest is like.

I also just like boobs. They're really fun to draw (among other things.) ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Uh... I was just thinking it was strange because you, being a girl, can stare at women more freely because they won't think you want to sexually assault them?

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't really think there's ever a pass to staring at anyone's chest except a partner or a very specific friendship energy.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Generally, yeah. I just was thinking 'what can he plausibly say that won't get him stabbed?'

I'm a simple man, I see cleavage, I check it out.

Not STARE, but there's a good chance I'm not offending the person who presents it.

Frieren: nods sagely

I want to see what flaired back bangs looks like IRL.
